How to Relax | Thich Nhat Hanh, Nhaaat

pick

A slim book but I read it slowly over days trying to fully appreciate his thoughts.
It also made me restart my meditation / breathwork practice. Hoping that it sticks. 🙏

lil1inblue @cuilin @dabbe @anncrystal The link is from the author's blog, where she explains how the poem came about. The last paragraph is interesting: "I consider that empty space at the poem‘s end as merely the beginning. It represents the place where you and I choose either to speak up or be silent on behalf of a free and inclusive society -- ⬇️ 3w

lil1inblue where we choose either to act or do nothing in defense of those who would be punished for merely being and expressing who they are." 3w

AnnCrystal @lil1inblue that's lovely, thank you for sharing this extra bit of info. This gives a whole new dimension to that last line ✊🏼🥲💙. 3w

lil1inblue @AnnCrystal 💙🩵💙 3w

10% Happier: How I Tamed the Voice in My Head, Reduced Stress Without Losing My Edge, and Found Self-Help That Actually Works--A True Story | Dan Harris

so-so

It took me a while to get through this book because I found the author's tone pompous and unrelatable. Although I had some good takeaway moments from the book overall it was hard to chew.

Pocket Nature Series: Beachcombing: Cultivate Mindful Moments by the Shore | Sadie Small

What a delightful book! I learned so much about the shells and other various mysterious objects that wash up on the beach - mysteries no more! The author uses scientific terms, but explains them in layman‘s language. She also encourages readers to just soak up the relaxing atmosphere of the beach, being aware of all 5 senses, meditating, and pondering age old questions. Perfect reading for anyone who is at the beach, or dreaming of being there.

julieclair This was my #MonthlyNonfiction2025 pick for June. It‘s part of the Pocket Nature series - first one I‘ve read, but I‘ll definitely read more. #Pantone2025 #RumRaisin @Lauredhel 4mo
